Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory vs. Valencia on Friday was so chaotic that a video of Jude Bellingham emptying and tossing a water bottle at the opposing goalkeeper went unnoticed until Saturday.
Friday’s madness saw a late comeback from Real Madrid and a Vinícius Jr. red card in the 79th minute following a VAR review. The sending off came after the Brazilian forward got into a skirmish with Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski.
The two players had an exchanging of words before Vinícius struck/shoved Dimitrievski in the head. Vinícius, to his displeasure, was shown a red card for his part in the fight.
Bellingham, who went on to score the game-winner, got revenge for his sent off teammate by attacking Dimitrievski’s water supply and throwing it at the Macedonian shot stopper.

This is one of the most petty and hilarious things we’ve seen. This might be our favorite soccer moment involving a water bottle since Australia’s goalkeeper threw his opponent’s water bottle into the stands before a penalty shootout.
All we know is that when these two clubs meet again on April 6 there might be a fist fight.
